i mean, you got ron paul, who wasn't even open to come to the convention, and then his son, rand paul, you know, he does the filibuster, and he's waking some americans up. it's just something republicans got to do, and we got to do it right now. we got to inform america on what these problems are and relate it to their everyday lives so they can understand. and give them a pass for growth, for freedom, for liberty, let them make their own choices, give them more money as they could spend, and i mean, you can't go wrong with that. but these candidates wary putting up against the democrats can't win. we need guys like rand paul, chris christie, and we got to take it there. host: a few more reactions on twitter. i like how the r.n.c. always blames the process rather than their performance. and amy writes in on twitter, growth and opportunity were euphemisms used at cpac to justify the same old ideas with no real game plan to achieve ither. sthaffs the political action conference that happened last week and over the weekend just outside of washington, d.c. carl is up next from martinsvill
